Ethernet Ports; Metal Enclosure - Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Manual

Caution When the access point is installed outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch
circuit that is powering the access point should be provided with ground fault protection
(GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
The AC power cord options are listed below:

Ethernet Ports

The access point supports an Ethernet uplink port and a downlink port. The access point's Ethernet
uplink port uses an RJ-45 connector (with weatherproofing) to link the access point to your10BASE-T,
100BASE-T, or 1000BASE-T network. The Ethernet cable is used to send and receive Ethernet data and
to optionally supply inline 56-VDC power from the power injector.
The access point's downlink Ethernet port uses an RJ-45 connector (with weatherproofing) to provide
LAN connectivity and IEEE 802.3af power to a peripheral customer device, such as a camera or sensor
gateway.
The Ethernet MAC addresses are printed on the label on the side of the access point (refer to the
"Finding the Product Serial Number - TBD" section on page
Tips The access point senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically switches
internal circuitry to match the cable connections.
To provide inline PoE, you must use the 1520 power injector. Other power injectors, PoE
Caution
switches, and 802.3af power sources can not provide adequate power, which may cause
the access point to malfunction and cause possible over-current conditions at the power
source.

Metal Enclosure

The access point uses a metal enclosure that can accommodate both indoor or outdoor operating
environments and an industrial temperature operating range of (–40°F (–40°C ) to 131°F (55°C). The
access point complies with
Note When the access point is mounted indoors, the antennas must also be mounted indoors.
